I agree that ATV's are a great tool for hunters. But to many "BONE HEADS" are ruining it for the rest of us. They take their ATV's everywere there not suposed to and force the forest service and DWR to step up enforcement on the use of ATV's. Soon there will be a license and season on shed hunting all because of a few BONE HEADS are to lazy and lack the true ambition of a hunter today. We used to be able to retrieve game with ATV's, but now we can't because a few dummies would see a ATV track and have to follow it. Don't you see that our actions today are a direct reflection on the laws made tomorrow.
Us true sportman need to step it up and help the DWR and forest service enforce the laws by giving them tips and information leading to the arrest of those that are destroying our past time. I am so sick of people saying that they don't want to get invovled in turning someone in. Talk about a coward that does not care enough about hunting to lift a finger to make a difference. I thought that all that type of people lived in France. I would like to think that hunters are people that have a backbone and stand up for their rights and privledges, not someone who is affraid a makeing a difference.
I hike and ride my horses to find sheds and hunt. when I see an ATV track I start hunting the ATV. I have confronted many BONEHEADS and have turned them in, I am not affraid of them, only of what they can do to destroy my experiences as a sportsman.
The best info you can give is a license plate, vehicle description, and GPS.
You already don't like them for being in your hunting area in the first place, so why should you care about what they will think of you when you turn them in.
